Souji better get used to his new life at this school. He's got the powers to make a difference especially after what happened before. His character also reminds me a little of Rin from Blue Exorcist.

Seems like an extension of the intro episode that introduced characters such as Kiyomi , ideas, etc. Souji seems to have made up his mind on what to do from now on.

This reminds me of previous season's Tougen Anki. But Dead Account has higher animation quality, but to be fair, Tougen Anki has 2 cours so it has to thin out its budget. The reason that it reminds me of Tougen Anki is because both anime have high proportion of male characters. Female characters are just to prevent them from becoming a sausage fest anime. But the relationship is focus on male-to-male. For example, Enishiro wake up and think it's a love hotel and suspect that Kukuru had "done" something to him. Dead Account seems to have even more manservice. We already get onsen situation in episode 2, and since the school is basically a Ryokan (traditional hotel with on-site onsen), expect a lot more bathing scene from now on.

A Ryokan academy for exorcists was unexpected. It's freaking cool.

Kasubata sure knows how to get on Enishiro's nerves. The dude only apologises when he cuss every time lmao

Azaki-sensei is so much fun. All the students from the academy are quirky. Denmi is so cute. Why's she looking like a doll ? Is she just a spirit inhabiting a doll ? They better explain quick about why they freak out over the Blue flames of Enishiro.

So the story on Akari's death doesn't end and it's just the beginning. I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes. Hope they don't disappoint.

I feel like this needs a lot more than 12 episodes to go anywhere.

Thank god episode 2 was better than the first

At first I assumed the other blue flame must've been the leader of the ghosts/spirits whatever. But then they showed that image and it makes me think it was a former student. Maybe a former student became an evil spirit. Idk. [I don't want spoilers]

@phantomfandom I fully agree that it gave me very Tougen Anki vibes at the start, but I think that's just because Tougen Anki is the most recent typical shounen setup I've seen before this one.

• Motivational setup, usually a family member being killed by an enemy
• MC gets caught up in some supernatural event and is saved by the one who will likely be the deuteragonist
• Unlocks powers and gets spirited away to supernatural school to become a student
• Gets their ass beat to learn that they aren't powerful enough for revenge on their own and agrees to the schooling
• Large cast of colorful characters and wacky teachers

It's all the exact same formula. But the difference between Tougen Anki and Dead Account is that so far, I actually like the characters of Dead Account. They were so bland and uninteresting in Tougen Anki. The story setup might not be super unique, but Dead Account is doing better at presenting the characters' personalities for sure. Plus the unique modern power setup is doing it some favors, too.

@Stark700 Well, yeah that blue flame is kind of an obvious comparison.

Well, at least here Soji isn't as annoying as that other kiddo of Tougen Anki (which I dropped halfway of episode 2), let's see if that happens next week.

Very typical action shounen stuff again. Demon blue flame and exorcism, blue exorcist lol. Rin is also voiced by Okamoto Nobuhiko, same as Enishiro. So this is copy pasta on another level. I like the character designs which is the only thing wanting me to continue this but have better things to do. Maybe will read the manga when it's over someday.

It's a simple thing but I can appreciate the small albeit constant displays of Enishiro's humility. I'm not gone of ragebaiters too but maybe that's what'll get everyone to warm up to him? (Other than his flames lol)

Ok, I really disliked the way the teacher and that Ksaubata guy provoked Souji about his dead sister. I understand why they did it, but it was really a jerk move, I was rooting for Souji to really win against Kasubata and kick his ass.
We got to see some more characters, and I like the designs so far. The girls are pretty cute!

Loved the episode, especially the new teacher. Him telling the protagonist he was too weak to provoke him reminded me of Satoru’s famous line to Jogo, haha. I’m quite curious about Akari’s killer, though, as well as the protagonist’s power and the reason behind everyone's fear of it.

well i can kinda see how this one is going now. everybody there at that 'school' is some form of twisted, perverted, peculiar weirdo. with some form of hangup or quirk or peculiarity. we'll have to 'learn all about their backstories' along with our MC and get some infodumps on all of them at some point. MC will get challenged and whatnot to 'get stronk' annd we won't get a satisfying conclusion at the end of these 12 episodes 'because anime reasons'.

mhm that one guy 'i won't accept!' is gonna be 'the bad teacher' due to once again 'anime reasons'. he'll torture and discriminate and blablabla against our MC, try to get MC killed or expelled or cut off from the 'magic woowoo voodoo blablabla' and so forth. till that 'bad teacher' hurdle is hopped the MC won't get a 'true faceoff' with the bleeding eyes killer thingy that offed his sister.

oh and there is probably going to be some form of ranking or levels or blablabla for the students and exorcists and our MC is at the bottom rung of it and will have to climb it with points or awards or achievements or something.

if there isn't a tournament or exhibition or competition or regulated fighting system/event i'll be HIGHLY surprised.

eh, i dunno... slapping a bunch of netizen buzzwords and phrases and tropes etc. on everything is probably going to bog this show down in trendy ephemera that i don't give a single hoot about.

i mean it is... the classic 'onmyoji/exorcists VS demons/monsters/evil spirits' we've seen more than once in anime... just given a 2000's spin.
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.

I enjoyed the episode more than the first one. They explained much better what is going on and the fight was pretty intense to watch.

Story and characters are painfully generic and none of them are likeable. Couldn't we for once get something different? Like maybe instead of him joining the school, he rejects them (cause they're arseholes), then tries to learn on his own, and thus the school becomes more of a rival force to his vigilante-esque approach. That'd be a somewhat unique story at least. The only other story I can think of that did something like that is "Major", where the protagonist joined a school that didn't have a baseball club, so he had to build the club from scratch to challenge the elite school's baseball team. Now that was an amazing story, not generic crap like this.

@Dao_Seeker would be nice yeah, but I think the industry likes playing things too safe. Japanese studios seems to hate the "screw the society"-trope for some reason, even if it does exist in manga, manhwa and manhua.

"Personally, I think shaming someone over their sexual experience feels like emulating the gentocracy you kids claim to hate."

The monk couldn't be more right. The amount of "deconstructed" and "socially aware" people I see using this argument and body-shaming based on "sizes" to delegitimize and humiliate others is out of the books.
